3.0 Introduction to the SOZO System The SOZO system is a medical device system comprised of hardware and software. The SOZO system hardware components are the SOZO Device and the Tablet. SOZO system software is made up of the SOZOapp and MySOZO. Users may access the SOZO system through the SOZOapp on the Tablet, or by the internet through MySOZO.com.
It may also be used to monitor fluid levels in patients living with heart failure. The SOZO system may be an integral part of a treatment plan for a lymphoedema and heart failure patient. Using the SOZO system, a Clinician may also monitor patient progress, including using the establishment of a baseline to track patient historical measurements.
5.1.2 Assembly Process. 3.4 Assessment Licences Clinicians use the SOZO system to perform measurements and Assessments on patients As an ImpediMed customer, a Clinic must purchase a separate licence for each Assessment. A Clinic may purchase a licence to use one, some, or all Assessments offered in their geographic region by ImpediMed, depending upon the needs of the Clinic and its patients.

The SOZOapp will always be the most compatible version with the SOZO system. If the SOZOapp version is not the most current version, it will be automatically updated. 8.6 Taking Measurements The SOZO Device supports various types of measurements for each Assessment, such as measurements for the detection of lymphoedema, for monitoring of fluid, and for different body composition outputs.
Surface temperature should not exceed 47° C (117° F) during normal use. Do not use SOZO Device if it is hot to the touch. Disconnect the SOZO Device by unplugging the Power Adaptor and call ImpediMed Technical Support. Read Intended Use and Precautions before taking measurements with the SOZO Device.

The SOZO Device makes audible clicking noises during measurement. These clicking noises indicate that the process is working correctly. 8.6.2.3.2 Losing Connectivity During Measurement If you lose connectivity while the Measurement is in progress, follow troubleshooting tips in Troubleshooting Section 10.1.4 Losing Connectivity During Measurement.
8.6.2.4.1 Considering Cole Plots in Deciding to Accept or Reject Measurements The SOZO software helps determine the quality of measurements by ranking each Cole plot as “High Quality” (green), “Medium Quality” (yellow) or “Low Quality” (red), as shown below.
Section 6.4.5.2 Measurement History 8.6.2.6.5 Impact of Licencing Additional Assessments on Results When the SOZO Device takes measurements, it collects and stores bioimpedance data categorized by date and time. These are independent of the type of Assessment. If the Clinic decides to purchase additional Assessment licences, the new Assessments may be added to a patient’s history.
9.0 Assessments 9.1 Introduction to Assessments The SOZO Device supports the following types of Assessments: 1) L-Dex; 2) Fluid Monitoring & Analysis; and 3) Tissue Analysis Depending on licencing, all Assessments and measurements may or may not be available or in MySOZO and the SOZOapp.
9.3.1.3 The Lymphoedema Index (L-Dex) The SOZO system displays L-Dex Assessment results based upon patient measurements taken with the SOZO Device. The L-Dex Assessment produces an L- Dex score, which is based on the ratio of the impedance of the unaffected limb(s) to impedance of the at-risk limb(s).
ROC curve (AUC) is a measure of how well a parameter can distinguish between two groups (diseased/normal). The closer the modelled AUC comes to 1, the better it is. SOZO’s L-Dex® accuracy was calculated with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.95 for unilateral assessment and 0.80 for bilateral assessment.
Results Trends 9.3.1.7 History of Measurements and In addition to the results display screen, the SOZO system also provides a history of patient measurements in graph format, to allow comparison between current results and previous results. This shows increases or decreases in the L-Dex score over time. For more about the...
If a patient has already developed lymphoedema and SOZO is being used to track their progress, do not set the baseline, as it will cause confusion with the modified red/yellow/green ranges.
Phase Angle (Phi) • Body Mass Index (BMI) The SOZO Device measures current, voltage and phase angle (Phi), and from these values calculates resistance (R), reactance (Xc), and impedance (Z), which are used to estimate the above body composition parameters.
9.3.3.3 Tissue Analysis Results At the conclusion of a SOZO device measurement, the SOZOapp displays results of the Tissue Analysis Assessment. The Tissue Analysis Assessment contains graphs and a wide range of body composition information in preferred units of measure.
